Faith and Science in the Catholic Church
Can a Catholic believe in evolution and the Genesis creation story? What does the Church teach about global warming and stewardship of the earth’s natural resources? What options are there for Catholic couples who are experiencing infertility?
Join us for Ave Explores: Faith and Science for deep conversations about how science and faith work together to reveal the truth. You will learn from Catholic scientists and experts from a variety of fields including bioethics, astronomy, and climate science how science and God are not the opposing forces they sometimes seem to be.
